    The new Geico ad with "the oldest trick in the book" is pretty good, though.

    The British chick who's just a little too interested in people wiping their asses.

    Any NBC promo with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

    When is Tina going to quit carrying unfunny Amy?

    Don't understand why Navy Federal Credit Union spends so much advertising during sporting events. Aren't there members part of a very specific demo?

    It's broader than you think. It isn't just uniform military.

    Which is why they are advertising, so the Steaks of the world can understand this. The fact that he doesn't shows that their adds stink.

    I'm just glad they ditched the one with the four little Asian American girls screaming "FORT BENNING GEORGIA IN 1999!!!!"

    Every Navy Federal commercial ever has stated, "Serving the U.S. military, DoD and their families." That's a lot of people, including:

    Uniformed personnel.
    Retirees.
    Reserve/National Guard.
    Cadets/midshipmen.
    DoD civilians and contractors.
    All family members (including families of families who are accepted).

    Throw in the Coast Guard, their families and civilian employees, you're talking about millions of people.

    I believe that one was for USAA, not Navy Federal Credit.

    Yeah, the USAA had the annoying girls. Navy Fed has a soldier describing how his daughter was super excited to paint her room pink, to which he quips, "So she's a princess, you got a problem with that?"

    They all look the same to me ... the military credit unions, not the kids. ;)
